Iran must stop arming Houthis in Yemen, G7 says ahead of UN General Assembly
The Group of Seven (G7) nations has issued a joint statement calling on Iran to cease its arming of Houthi rebels in Yemen. The statement was made in anticipation of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session. The G7, consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, expressed deep concern over Iran’s continued support for the Houthi militia, which has been involved in the protracted conflict in Yemen.
The G7 nations condemned the flow of weapons from Iran to the Houthis, attributing it to exacerbating the instability in Yemen and posing a threat to regional security. The group urged Iran to uphold its commitments under international law and respect the arms embargo imposed by the UN Security Council.
On the other hand, Iran has denied the allegations, stating that it is not providing military assistance to the Houthis in Yemen. Iranian officials have argued that the accusations are part of a broader strategy to malign Iran’s regional influence and create divisions among Middle Eastern nations.
As the G7 nations and Iran hold opposing views on the matter, the situation underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the Middle East. The call from the G7 for Iran to halt its alleged support for the Houthi rebels sets the stage for potential discussions and debates at the upcoming UN General Assembly.
